ezzyla - I hate to admit this but I went to Thailand and had unprotected sex with like 15 different woman.. Some of that sex I paid for and sometimes I paid for it with a dinner. I'll never do that again, I was depressed than ( 14 months ago ) , but I continually test HIV neg.. I am circumsized and always washed off after sex.

Circumcision can save over two million in the next 15 years. This is very serious and should not be taken as a joke.
All these studies have been carried out by prestigious and respectable research institutions and universities, and are back in many cases by official organisations such as the US National Institutions of Health or the World Health Organisation.
Why uncircumcised men are more prone to STD’s?
Scientist have discovered that the skin covering the inner side of the foreskin is by its nature (has a very low amount of a protein called ‘keratin’ which stops viruses entering into the body, plus some other factors) acts as an ‘open door’ to STD’s. Circumcision, by removing the foreskin, ‘closes’ this ‘door’.
Circumcision rates are increasing nowadays, both in the United States and overseas. Many African and South American countries with little circumcision tradition are starting to promote the procedure to help to reduce the AIDS-HIV infection rates.
The sites below have very interesting information related to this topic. Please have a look.

I would be curious to see how many participants were in the study and how they came up with the numbers. There is still no way in hell anyone, circumcised or not, should have unprotected sex with some one who has HIV. It always amazes me how many people admit to having unprotected sex with people who have STDs. I am thinking that this study used interview with the participants as the major information gathering of the study. How honest are people when talking about their sexual histories? I think the CDC should focus on containing disease for everyone, not a percentage of the male population.
